wednesday's post

I got up at about 8.15AM today and didn't go swimming, so I ended up in iceland with a friend

Breakfast 8.20AM

• I had some nestle cereal with clusters in it, but i'm pretty sure there were some almond flakes in the cereal too which makes me think the cereal is oats and more almond cereal, it has that nestle taste to it but its so much sweeter and easier to eat in the morning compared to nestle clusters - the milk was also perfect again today (milkmans on a roll)

Lunch

• I left my lunch at home expecting to have it later on in the afternoon but I didn't get around to it so i'm going to save it for tomorrow's lunch instead
• out and about I bought a crunchie bar, which I was expecting to really enjoy, of course its nice its just kind of not nice at the same time (I also got a boost bar which i'm yet to eat)
• after that in iceland I bought an aptly named bag of chew crew sweets to share (chew crew represent) which had some toffee things in it, with different kind of refreshers and lollies and stuff like that, they were all wonderful but harder and dustier than the refreshers I remember from when I was little
• when I got home I also tackled another one of the lollies

Dinner 6.35PM

• dinner was very nice, my dad did our usual chicken tikka curry using some of the pataks sauces as the base
• it was very nice, we had it with rice, and he put quite a few onions in there which is what I like
• we also had some garlic naan bread with it which tasted distinctly different from other recent naan breads from tescos - we're starting to think they switch supplier on the naan bread quite a bit because this was lovely, it was a bit softer and a lot more garlicy
• I then had a banana which was better than the rest of the week's bananas

Snacks 8.15PM+

• I meant to have my lunch now but my mum very kindly gave me something
• everyone else had some peanuts so I was given some tescos milk chocolate which has a wonderful taste to it, it almost tastes like its not chocolate, its kind of nutty too and really creamy and maybe not as sickly as cadbury stuff but i'm not sure
• I then had a good few refreshers/drumstick lollies

there we go

fully updated, haven't got another exam for just over a week so I don't think i'll have a problem keeping up the posts

tuesday's post

today I got up at about 8.25AM after a long sleep that seemed quite short to go in for a business studies exam which went pretty well I think

Breakfast 8.30AM

• breakfast was really nice, some nestle cluster cereal which was good and sweet with perfect full fat milk

Lunch 12.15PM

• for lunch I had some orange juice
• some carrot sticks
• I started on my sesame seed bun with some salami in it but I didn't get to finish it or even start my scone before I needed to get to the exam which was annoying because its still stewing in my bag now I think about it

Dinner 6.45PM

• dinner was really nice, it was a special dinner to make the end of my first exam, first I had some tomato slices
• and some lettuce to clear space on my plate
• then I had a wonderful piece of tandoori chicken
• and a nice piece of chicken that was left over that my dad had cooked anyway, I put salt and pepper on this just because i've always wanted to
• I then had some lovely belly pork, if its the weekend he'd usually double cook it (or something like that, i'm not well up on pork terminology) he'd boil it then he'd do it in the oven I think, he skipped the boiling because it was a week day and it left the pork kind of softer, and more cleaner tasting with loads of soft flavourful fat on the meat which was wonderful and kind of a weird attractive taste
• then I had some ribs, they were very nice too, little ones made from cutting the normal ribs in half with a sticky coating with lots of sharp ginger in it
• after all of that I had a small baguette which I spent ages eating, it was really special to have a meal like this at the start of the week
• after that I had a banana which once again, looked perfect but tasted kind of off

Snacks 9.10PM+

• my mum had bought some cofresh gujarati mix which was wonderful, I think I had about 3 bowls of the stuff, the best thing about it is it uses quite a bit of lentil sugar which I love so much - theres a mix that tastes pretty much 90% lentil sugar but I can't remember its name, lentil sugar is wonderful though
• after that I had a nice cold can of dr.pepper which i'm still really enjoying as a drink, I meant to mix it with some sarsaparilla concentrate but I forgot

monday's post

on monday I got up at about 7.10AM as an effort to get to school early, I didn't manage that but I did start a watercolour of some dogs which was nice

Breakfast 7.15AM

• breakfast was actually really nice, I think the cereal looks the same but it might be slightly different, it defiantly still tastes nestle but the whole thing was a lot sweeter and the milk was wonderful too

Lunch 1.10PM

• before lunch, at about 11.35AM a friend very kindly gave me gave me a biscuit, it was incredibly thin with what I think were currants in it, none of the currants were bad and the biscuit its self was cinnamon tasting which was a really nice treat
• for lunch I had some orange juice
• some carrot sticks
• and a sesame seed bun with some salami in it, the bun wasn't all dark with loads of seeds like last week's buns, I don't know whats going on there but I miss last week's buns
• I also had a wonderful scone, it was darker in colour than a normal scone and tasted like a mix of a scone and a little bun cake which was very nice

Dinner 6.35PM

• dinner was another spaghetti carbonara kind of thing, it was wonderful, we had it with fried onions and some chicken on top, I can always taste something bready about this which I really like, there were also some little bits of bacon in it
• on the side of my plate there was also a lettuce leaf, which I ate first so the cold food didn't touch the hot food
• with that my mum had bought a tomato bread thing, I think it was called a pull apart and share thing, it was really odd but nice at the same time, I don't usually like bread with stuff in it because you risk getting bad hard bits in the bread but this was really nice and the crust was very crunchy and crispy
• I also had a banana after this, it was another perfect looking one with a slightly funny taste

Snacks 7.45PM+

• I just helped finish off the bournville dark chocolate today because I needed to get up to go and revise

sunday's post

on sunday I got up at about 11.40AM and set my self up for a serious revision session (I had a long bath which took up most my time)

Breakfast

• nah, I didn't have anything, I had two of those little coconut cakes at about midday but no actual breakfast

Lunch 2.05PM

• for lunch I asked my dad to make me something so i'd have enough energy to properly focus later on in the afternoon, so he very kindly made me some carrots and peas with pesto which was lovely
• I also finished off the coconut cakes after this, and they really were a strange kind of nice - its like you wouldn't go to the sweet shop and buy a bag of them, but a few after lunch is a very nice thing

Dinner 7.05PM

• for dinner we had roast chicken, the chicken was lovely but I think I might have put too much salt on it
• there was also a bit of chicken skin on the side of my plate which was a real treat
• some roast potatoes
• two yorkshire puddings
• some broccoli
• some carrots
• and a few brussel sprouts, I didn't really warm to these as much as I did over christmas, I don't think i'm meant to like them too much
• there was also a small amount of what I think were spring greens, but it could have just been something with the broccoli
• there was some extra gravy so I gave in and had loads and loads of the stuff, now this was a very bad idea I think because it made everything very filling and warm tasting
• I also ended up putting a lot of salt and pepper on everything (I don't really don't know why I did this)
• I also tried bread sauce again - this is another thing that i'm really not sure on, I put it mostly on my vegetables and my roast potatoes, I think i'll have it again but I still don't know if I like it
• after that my mum gave me two roast potatoes
• and a yorkshire pudding that she couldn't finish which was very nice of her
• I then had a banana, it looked perfect but tasted kind of funny

Snacks 8.50PM+

• all I had tonight was some of that bournville dark chocolate which was very nice but i'm still wondering if they've changed the recipe of that stuff

ok here we go

i'm going to try and tackle them now

sorry i'll try and finish up the catch up tomorrow

got my first exam on tuesday and i'm itching to do some drawing, hopefully I can get the blog updated fully tomorrow
